The TeX license requires you to change the name of you change a single byte.

The only thing I'm retaining control of is the names, TeX and METAFONT: products that go by this name are obliged to conform to the standard. If any changes are made, I won't complain, as long as the changed systems are not called TeX or METAFONT.

That open source licenses exist that REQUIRE you take credit the moment you fiddle with the source, so it’s not universally despised to do so.
